This is probably my favorite GoPro accessory other than the "floating" hand grip. The straps are made of a very high-quality stretchable fabric that look and feel like they'll never loose their elasticity. The clips are made of very thick plastic and the brackets that attach the straps to the mount are metal, and the mount is metal as well. There's no doubt in my mind that this thing will last a long time. You would think something like this would be uncomfortable to wear, but that's actually not the case. Straight out of the packaging, i put it on and the adjustment was already perfect. I'm about 5'7", 130 pounds, and the camera was just about right in center of my chest. I'm sort of a skinny guy and it was slightly tight, but i think if you have it too loose, your footage will be a bit shaky and like i said before, the straps are so comfortable you barely notice you even have it on. There's also plenty of room to adjust the straps because it comes with all of them almost at their shortest length, but there's over a foot and a half of adjustment room for larger people. One thing to note is that this does NOT come with a case housing for your GoPro, which you need in order to mount it to most accessories, so keep that in mind. Now i'd like to address one thing i've heard a lot of people talking about in other reviews. The camera mount on the harness comes upside-down when you first get it. Why they send them like this, i'm not sure, but flipping it right-side up is rather simple; the mount is just like every other GoPro mount accessory, it's the slide-and-lock type (as opposed to bolt screw-in kind). Pinching the 2 ends together and pushing it out can be rather hard at first, but it will eventually pop out when you push it hard enough. There's also a second option if you really don't want to change the mount at all; most GoPros have an "upside-down" setting you can set it to, which will flip your footage right-side up. Either way will work, but flipping the mount around the right way definitely isn't as hard as people are making it. In short: great product, will last a long time, and flipping the mount is easy.

I use this when flying my ultralight airplane. I had/have the headstrap, but it was too high and the instrument panel blocked the view. It also made for a nauseating video as I'm constantly turning my head and scanning the sky. The Chesty is a much better, albeit more expensive, solution. The new position is perfect and makes great videos (here, for example: youtube (dot)(com)(slash) watch?v=KECI191ij-Q). Since I don't twist my torso around much, the video is much more stable. And the vibrations from the plane are dampened by my body so the video is pretty smooth. The Chesty is very comfortable and I wonder if this is what women feel like when wearing a comfortable bra. It almost makes me want to try "the Bro" from Seinfeld. It's maybe confusing to put on the first time, but there is a clasp on the front that allows it to be worn like a back pack, then you lock it up front and you're good to go. The GoPro can swivel on the mount, like every other mount they make, which is great for the plane as I kinda sit back in the cockpit and have to angle the camera down. The back plate, where all the straps meet right at the camera, is large and comfortable and will make the fix for the one problem easy. That problem is that if your left (or right) arm is extended at all, pushing your left torso slightly forward (like when I'm grabbing the yoke), it pushes the camera view to the right a little. A shim of some sort is necessary, like a folded-up paper towel or something. However, the wide FOV of the GoPro does kind of cancel out the need for that. All in all, a good, quality purchase. At first I was cringing at the price, and it still is a tad expensive, but I definitely did not get ripped off.

*note that for all of the following, I had adjusted the chest harness to position the GoPro camera as high as possible on my chest/as close to my chin as possible* I bought the chest harness specifically for a trip to Kauai and it worked out great! I used this on an ATV tour and it was very stable. My fiancée was the one that wore it during the ATV tour as she was riding as the passenger on my right side while I drove (we had a Rhino). If I wore it the view would've been obscured by the steering wheel, but was perfect on her side. If we had a traditional ATV with her sitting behind me, I would've been fine wearing it. The setting was R3, 720P, 60 frames. The tour guide was nice enough to give a helmet adhesive attachment for the required safety helmets, but I wasn't so keen on trusting my GoPro with the adhesive attachment on a dusty helmet, while going high speed on rough terrain. The video was very stable and secure on the chest harness. We also took a catamaran trip around the coastline. Worked out great, especially when it left both hands free to hold on to the boat during choppy parts of the ride. I also used the chest harness during a 'doorless' helicopter tour of the island....something I highly recommend if you decide on a helicopter tour! Just like for the ATV ride, I adjusted the camera position high on my chest, but also pulled it more to my right side (or whichever side you happen to be seated on) where there was no door. Perfect hands-free, stable video! I would occasionally adjust the angle of the camera with a tilt up or down depending upon whether I wanted to record the landscape ahead of the helicopter or below us as we could see straight down with the doors off. Great to be able to have your hands free to to take stills/video with a regular camera (with neck strap), or to hold on to your honey, or grab onto an "OS" handle if flying at over 100 mph at high elevations with no doors is not in your comfort zone. :) I thought about using the headstrap attachment, but the doorless heli tour had strict policies against hats or headgear. The headstrap attachment might be better on the traditional heli tours with doors on. Overall, great during the ATV tour, no-door heli tour, boat tours, hiking, etc. wanted to try it out for use during snorkeling but didn't have the chance. The wrist-strap attachment didn't make much sense to me if one is swimming. If others have used it when swimming, snorkeling, diving, I'd love to hear about it! *other GoPro notes* During the helicopter tour I used the skeleton housing despite the >100mph speeds, but also had an XSories silicone skin over it (great for additional case protection especially when you want to use during airsoft or paintball and give the internal mic a chance to record audio. The skin also got lots of attention from the excursion people thinking I had a new type of GoPro). When we touched down, the owner asked me about it and asked if I used the skeleton or waterproof housing underneath. When I told him I was using the skeleton one, he said that was good as people using the waterproof housing would get condensation on theirs. The temperature did drop a lot up in the air, adding that to the rain or mist encountered during our flight. So either use a skeleton housing or the UW housing with the anti-fog inserts or some type of desiccant that fits in the housing.

Initial impression is good, used it kayaking and it worked well. Not the easiest accessory to use with a PFD though, so keep that in mind for water sports. It's pretty easy to adjust the angle up or down as desired, and taking the camera out of the mount to swap batteries isn't bad. Might be nice to be able to swivel side to side when kayaking since you can only rotate your torso so far, but that's a lot to ask for the price. Overall a good accessory so far. I'm using this for kayak fishing with a GoPro 6, and seated it caught me rigging tackle and casting well, as well as catching and releasing fish. I could see this being useful for recording any kind of tutorial where you're working with your hands right in front of you as well.

This harness was a little more pricier than I wanted to pay but ultimately I found it a quality product that serves it's purpose very well. I used my GoPro for a century (100 mile) bike ride in Death Valley. I didn't want to connect the GoPro to my helmet as it's a tad heavy for a 8+ hour bike ride. I could have connected it to my handlebars but opted for the cool "1st person" view of having it right on my chest. It stayed their comfortably the entire trip and though I'm not finished editing the footage, it looks great upon initial inspection. The harness comes with an attachment piece that allows you rotate the GoPro about 270 degrees vertically (eg. whether the camera is looking down toward the ground in front of you or directly in front if you). I needed the camera to look "skyward" as I'm in a bent over position on my bike, so I mounted it upside-down on the harness and then turned on the upside-down video recording on the GoPro itself (the attachement can clip in either direction). Overall, I'm satisfied with the experiment and I'm sure it'll last me for years to come.

At first i thought i got the junior chest mount when i first put it on, since it was so tight, but then i was able to adjust the straps and its very comfortable to wear. When i bought it i was hoping that it was an official GoPro chest mount harness. and i bought it based on the pictures, an its 5 star reviews. while i was waiting for it to arrive, i stumbled across some 1 star reviews stating that "its not an official GoPro product" & "pictures are misleading", "the real GoPro harness comes with a "J" valve". and after seeing these bad reviews i was very disappointed. Well, when i received it, i was surprised to see it inside a GoPro nylon bag (with a logo in the bag), and the GoPro logo on the cardboard (where the little bag was tied), and inside it, was the legitimate chest mount, with its J valve, and GoPro logos where they are supposed to be. this is the official "chesty" mount. don't listen to the bad reviews. Now, i did feel compelled to write a review like this because all the other 5 star reviews gave me no evidence this is the real product, and most likely, didn't even know what the real mount looked like. (at least that's what i thought). So yes, go ahead and buy this harness, i know i'm very happy with my purchase.

As the operator of The Epicenter, an HD action cam rental store in Moab, I need strong, adjustable, secure mounting options for my fleet of rental HD GoPro cameras, and the "Chesty" is perfect. In particular, it is our preferred mounting option for rafting, kayaking, skiing, horseback riding, climbing and general exploration, where a helmet mount is not viable. The multiple adjustment points and stretch-to-fit straps easily fit over a life jacket, and the camera can be raised up high enough so river-runners don't end up looking at 2 hours of their hands on the oars / paddles. One minor drawback: for road and mountain biking applications, the rider's forward-leaning body position is such that the camera must be mounted upside down to get the proper field of view, which means we set those cameras up with an inverted image capture so the raw data comes out right side up. I'd like to see better adjustability in the mount, but it is so secure, and so adjustable, that I can't take a star away. When I send a rental camera out with a Chesty, I can be confident that my equipment will come back in one piece, and that my customers will come back with big smiles and great footage. Bottom line: if you've got an HD GoPro, you need a Chesty! If you don't have an HD GoPro, you've got to get one!

Review updated 2011 Aug 10: Vs. Helmet mount for mtn biking: Pros: - Better PoV perspective which captures more movement of your arms and your gear in action - Better ground detail - Better clearance from branches Cons: - Can't easily aim it behind you while on the bike and looking back at friends riding a section you just rode - More wind noise, due to it capturing the sound of wind deflecting off your chest Footage from my GoPro on my helmet mount wasn't very spectacular. It seemed a bit slower than in real life and made everything look flat, from making obstacles look insignificant to making pitches look level. Moving the camera to the chest mount gave my footage better ground detail to help with depth perception and since it captured my position, arm movement, and gear's movement, it gave a sense of the technique I was using to handle the steep pitches. The ground and foliage seemed to zoom by faster too, which seemed to give a better sense of speed. It made my PoV footage seem a lot more interesting to watch. I still have a helmet mount for certain situations, but this is now my preferred location/way to mount/wear a camera on my body. Both are kind of finicky to aim. I find the best way is to not use leg attachments if at all possible. The chest mount requires the camera to be tilted up, since your chest will be at an angle to the ground, else you will be filming your bikes top tube and your knees. I found that mounting the camera upside down with it tilting upwards just enough that it allows the camera to be coerced out if you open the rear hatch is just about perfect and is how I realign it each time if I happen to move the camera from mount to mount. I then use the UPd mode (available after a firmware upgrade for the regular HeroHD 1080) or just rotate it 180 in editing software (don't flip, as that reverses the left and right orientation). Using leg attachments will make it prone to shaky video and risk being jarred loose out of position (kills the flow looking down and seeing you need to fix the aim). The GoPro tends to have rattling/clacking sounds which can be minimized by padding the clip interface with some tape to tighten it up and maybe padding the case with tape to dull the sound of dirt bouncing off the case. If I were to ride solo (time trial style) or behind a better rider on a generally non-stop fast and flowy ride, I'd definitely opt for the chest mount. If I were to ride with buddies who were slower, I'd opt for a helmet mount, just so I could just pullover my bike, put a foot down, and turn my head and film them attempting a section I just rode. If the view was great and I'd want to get some riding by footage of scenery off to the side, I'd use a helmet mount too. If I wanted to ride stylish, I'd just opt for a non PoV view or give the camera to someone else who would act as a chaser. IMO, this is one of the big reasons to get the GoPro over other PoV cams. Get it, use it, and learn to love it.
